I’m hot for blueberries right now – obviously. as i might have mentioned, these tasty little ubiquitous berries are ruled by the planet of Jupiter. This is due to their bountiful and seemingly endless nature. Pisces is co-ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. Where as, Sagittarius is ruled solely by Jupiter. To paint a blue picture for you, think about Elvis (sag rising) & anna nicole (sag sun). Gluttony, hedonism & expansion (ahem, waistline) were but a few of their Sagittarian qualites.

If there’s anything I could possibly hate about my favorite season, summer, it’s that everything is ripe all at once! arghhh… so little time, so much to pick. or buy, whatever. that’s why we have freezers, right? now if i could just learn how to use them! but back to blueberries… when it rains it pours. all spring and summer, i painstakingly watch those little balls go from a pale shade of green to pink to finally a deep blue hue. YES… FINALLY! what gives? weeks and weeks of no ripe berries, but then, one day they all decide to get ripe. together. blue ball overload! here’s the way to handle that girls…

throw it all in the blender at the same time and puree until ice is smooth. (created by gwen sutherland kaiser)

even the goodest girl has to be bad sometimes. well no time like the present, so go ahead girls, adulterate those hyper-healthy ingredients. and like it too. who’s to know your smoothie’s kickin? that’s your dirty little secret, you bad girl you. drink for breakfast and walk to work with a spring in your step. or, drink for dinner and have some really sweet dreams.

[…] Thank you Gwen over at Intoxicated Zodiac for hosting Mixology Monday. I hadn’t seen your blog before, but I’m glad to have now! Your photography is fun; I especially like the garnish of 8 blueberries and a seashell. […]

I would love to add this to my smoothie site: http://www.smoothieweb.com. Would you give permission, I would of course link back to your site. In any case, thanks for sharing the smoothie recipe here. Awesome smoothie.
